40 acres and a mule?

I'm probably going to get chewed out for this, but here goes...

I'd like someone to show me a group that doesn't feel they've been oppressed (besides maybe white men...reverse racism?). Look at the American Indians, the Jews, the Japanese after WWII. I feel that unless someone or their parents were the ones involved in slavery, concentration camps, etc, they should not be seeking "retribution." Honor your history, mourn the opression and wrong-doing that happened to your ancestors, but don't make it about personal gain as if it happened directly to you.
